Comment Palm Vx (Score 2, Interesting) 390

I've been using a Palm Vx over a year now to read books. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages.

PROS:
  • You can get an used one on eBay for $30-$50.
  • I get over 8 hours of constant use before I have to recharge its internal batteries. It has 8 MB which is enough for 10 typical novels.
  • It has a backlight.
  • I find that there's more programs available for the Palm OS than the PocketPC OS. (I have a battery-sucking HP Jornada as well.)

CONS:
  • The resolution is only 160x160 but I find that this is fine for reading.
  • It is only 2-bit black-and-white.

NOTES:
